"I wonder what seniors have to say?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Xueqi seemed to feel that the atmosphere was relaxing. She cupped her hands and spoke with some vigilance.
Beside him, Tian Linger and others also set their sights on You Ji, sizing up the woman wearing black clothes and a black veil, and at the same time speculating on the other party's identity.
You Ji is very calm.
Not feeling guilty at all.
After hearing Lu Xueqi's probing, she replied meaningfully:
"I think you may know my purpose here."
"The premise is that you are only here for this sword."
"I understand the principle that water in a well does not interfere with water in the river. You must also understand it. You don't need to know too much about the story of this sword. If you really want to know, maybe you can use it to find it in the future."
Lu Xueqi frowned slightly.
After analyzing the meaning of these words, his eyes flickered slightly.
According to the other party’s current attitude…
According to the meaning expressed by the other party...
It is not difficult to analyze that the other party is not hostile.
Since there is no hostility, why come to Heyang City?
You know, Heyang City is not only a city located in the Central Plains, but also the city closest to the foot of Qingyunmen Mountain!
Even if you have some small calculations, you should never bring the Ghost King's daughter from the Ghost King Sect to this dangerous place.
After all, this place is really not a good place for the Ghost King Sect. Even if they cause trouble at the border, the risk is not as high as lurking here.
Therefore, the other party must have a purpose for coming here.
And this purpose is not malicious.
Lu Xueqi thought about it and suddenly thought of something that was very likely to happen but that she couldn't understand - come and return the Dragon Slaying Sword!
Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't happen.
After all, this is an act of endorsing the enemy.
Even if the Ghost King Sect cannot be used, it can be used as a bargaining chip to be sold to the Blood Refining Hall or the Changsheng Hall, or it can be exchanged for some scarce resources from the Hehuan Sect; because these cultivation sects are all in the ranks of the devil, and are far from being able to talk about it. Capitalize on the enemy.
Nowadays, good and evil are as powerful as fire and water.
certainly.
Hundreds of years ago, it was like fire and water.
It's just that the situation is more tense now.
Whatever the goals that the demonic practice sects want to achieve, no matter good or bad, right or wrong, the righteous practice sects must oppose it and do their best to destroy it.
Whatever the righteous cultivation sects want to achieve, no matter whether it is good or bad, right or wrong, the demonic cultivation sects will oppose it with all their strength and do their best to destroy it.
Arguably, this has nothing to do with the facts.
Related to orthodoxy.
The two are in an absolutely opposing position.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, neither the Ghost King Sect nor all the other sects in the Demonic Path would agree to such an act that is obviously endearing to the enemy.
Can't use the dragon-slaying sword?
It doesn't matter!
If you put it in the warehouse, it won't be returned to the Qingyun Sect if it rots.
This is the habitual operation of the Demonic Sect.
Lu Xueqi also has a certain understanding of this.
Therefore, she was not sure about this guess.
But from the attitude and words of this woman in black, especially the sentence "Maybe you know my purpose of coming," it is not difficult to hear that the other party's purpose of coming may be the same as hers.
When she saw the Dragon-Slaying Sword, her first thought was to ask the person holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword to find out the secrets about the specific whereabouts of Lu Yuan's body.
The second step is to take back the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
But the other party also said that they didn't need to know too much.
From this, it can be seen that the opponent can only return the sword.
certainly.
This is just her personal guess.
No one can be sure what the truth is.
Before everything has settled, be prepared not to jump to conclusions; this is what Lu Yuan taught her before he died, and it is also a rule that she cannot ignore.
However, it is better to avoid conflicts as much as possible if possible.
Since the other party came with no ill intentions, there was no need for them to treat each other with ill intentions. This would very likely turn a stranger who was not a friend into an enemy.
Lu Xueqi didn't look at Tian Linger's expression.
He didn't even look at the expressions of Qi Hao and others at this moment.
She is the leader of the team.
And he is also the first commander.
The rest of the people don't have to obey the orders she gives completely, they can put forward opinions or reservations, or even refute them; but in any case, the basic direction must be consistent with the orders she gives.
In this way, this is a team.
Instead of eight stragglers.
Everyone is clear on this.
Therefore, Lu Xueqi had no intention of explaining at all, but after pondering for a moment, she made a move that no one expected.
"Can you tell me something about him?"
"Even if it's just some trivial and unimportant plot, I still want to know something."
"However, I won't make it difficult for you."
"What you can say is up to you."
"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you to say it."
Lu Xueqi withdrew her gaze from You Ji and looked at the slightly astonished Baguio not far away. Ignoring the looks of the Qingyun disciples behind her, she calmly sent out the invitation.
to be honest.
Baguio was really surprised at this moment.
Although she was dissatisfied with a certain guy's act of opening a clone and using it to attract bees and butterflies outside, due to the nature of the clone, she really didn't have much indignation about this matter.
the reason is simple.
Lu Yuan took the initiative to seek death.
Moreover, it is not death in the true sense.
A clone died, no big deal.
This is like her magic weapon, the Sad Flower, being damaged. Although it will make her feel distressed, it does not mean that besides the Sad Flower, she has no magic weapon to control.
At most, it will feel awkward.
Or miss the sad flower.
There is no loss in terms of one's own life.
Therefore, she didn't mean to be angry. At most, she thought Lu Yuan's plan was interesting and wanted to make it more difficult for Lu Yuan!
For example...
What is a metaphor for the relationship between Demon and Dao?
Another metaphor for the relationship between Mozi and the leader of the Blood Refining Hall?
Or leave some unimportant clues?
All in all, it was a proper test for Lu Yuan.
When Lu Yuan asked Lu Yuan to lay out the plan, he didn't even tell her the comprehensive plan. He just treated her as a tool. It didn't matter how she should do it. The important thing was that she only needed to obey the order!
She also has a temper!
However, she is also measured.
Appropriately increasing the difficulty is within Lu Yuan's tolerance.
If you mess up your plan...
From a factual point of view, she couldn't bear it!
After all, Lu Yuan smashed two clones in!
So far, she has only noticed five clones. It can be said that Lu Yuan used half of his trump cards at once.
Failure means losing everything.
Therefore, she really couldn't bear it.
But because of this, when the girl opposite who was carrying the Tianya Sword, regardless of the stance of good and evil, extended an invitation to her, she was inevitably shocked by the other party's courage.
certainly.
Shocked.
Baguio has a strong psychological quality.
To be precise, there is still a bit of a dark underbelly.
Baguio is currently just afraid that he will be tricked into talking.
What if he said something he shouldn't have said and Lu Yuan's identity was exposed on the spot, or he was tricked into a general direction by these people...
There is no doubt that it would be fatal!
No one likes to be fooled.
Including Baguio himself.
Realize that the cost of being fooled can be severe.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Baguio still rejected Lu Xueqi's proposal. She didn't say anything, just turned around and left, expressing her rejection with actions.
As for what if I'm not tricked?
Baguio didn’t want to say more about this possibility.
She considers herself to be a quick thinker.
But against eight, I thought I had no chance of winning.
Moreover, among these eight people, there was not only Lu Xueqi, a girl who looked very smart, but also Tian Linger and Zhang Xiaofan, two people who were very familiar with Lu Yuan.
If you make the slightest mistake, you will be caught.
After all, lies always keep growing.
If it hadn't been like many years ago when she went to talk to Lu Yuan right after she lied, and forcibly lowered his seniority, I'm afraid this lie wouldn't be able to continue!
The easiest way to make a lie no longer a lie is to implement the lie. Even if there is no logic at all, this is still a fact.
Over time, this is a fact.
After all, time is a cruel force.
Things that are erased by time will always be there.
Those completely devoid of logic will gradually, like those complete logics, be partially erased by time, completely losing the possibility of tracing.
Therefore, Baguio doesn't like lying.
After lying, he will also implement it immediately.
In a sense, it can be regarded as killing first and playing later.
However, in this world, there are many lies that cannot be implemented!
Just like the identity of Qingyun Daozi Lu Yuan!
Of course, he is the brother of Demon Zi Lu Yuan.
But if it comes down to it, the two have actually not seen each other for many years. Even if there is information exchange, Baguio, as the fiancée of Mozi Lu Yuan, will never have a detailed understanding of Qingyun Daozi Lu Yuan.
Therefore, errors may occur.
This is the root cause of Baguio's concerns.
Therefore, Baguio chose to avoid talking.
Then, he walked to the door of a private room, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. He walked to the seat and sat down, squinting at Lu Yuan in front of him.
Um.
It's "Qingyun Daozi" Lu Yuan.
"Does it look good?"
"Watch them angry for you..."
"Watch them conflict over you..."
"Watch them being kept in the dark by you..."
"Looking at them being speechless by what I said..."
Ignoring Jin Ping'er who was trembling on the side, Baguio's tone was mixed with strong dissatisfaction, and she asked Lu Yuan aggressively.
Lu Yuan spread his hands helplessly.
Then, he sighed unabashedly.
"These are actually necessary links."
"Even if there is no Lu Xueqi to add fuel to the flames, I will leave the Qingyun Sect after a certain stage, but the method may be different!"
"The rules of this world are that the weak should prey on the strong."
"If you don't go through my test and just see these superficial characteristics of my identity, naturally there is no need to understand the deeper level of me."
"After all, one day in the future, I may be on the opposite side of the world. Whether you are willing or not, we will become enemies."
"I am a more rational person."
"Since we are enemies, we will show no mercy."
"So, naturally I have to give it a chance."
"Give them a chance before everything starts."
"Give them...the opportunity to oppose or lean towards me!"
Jin Ping'er listened with fear.
Baguio behaved very calmly.
Hearing Lu Yuan's answer, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"You are really a contradictory person."
"I say that I am very rational, but there is always a trace of sensibility mixed with rationality."
"If we were rational, even if we were to become enemies in the future, we would never give them a chance to choose at this moment!"
"If you were rational, after you learned the Qingyun Sect's Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, you would never continue to guide them to explore in this way. You could simply let them die inexplicably!"
"you say?"
"Are you a conflicted person?"
Baguio joked with a smile.
Lu Yuan also laughed when he heard this.
"That's why you like me."
"Human beings are inherently contradictory creatures."
"Everything in the world is inherently contradictory, but it is not suitable to use this word to describe it. Opposition should be used to describe the relationship between all things."
"If I were really rational, you wouldn't be alive now."
"If I were really emotional, I wouldn't be alive now."
Hearing this, Baguio couldn't help but secretly spit.
Her pretty face turned red, she coughed slightly, and quickly covered up her untimely shyness and embarrassment, and then asked angrily:
"Who likes you?"
"Don't beat him up!"
After saying that, before Lu Yuan could answer, he hurriedly stood up and pushed the door open, leaving only Lu Yuan who was still sitting there dumbfounding, and Jin Ping'er who was suppressing a smile.
While Baguio and Lu Yuan were talking, Lu Xueqi and others also finished the meal. It was not delicious, but it was not unpalatable either.
Everyone's heart is full of worries.
The heavy feeling made them subconsciously ignore the taste. Even after finishing the meal, the atmosphere was still a bit weird, and Tian Linger and the others were even more absent-minded.
Traveling all night is naturally impossible.
Lu Xueqi is not Lu Yuan.
Tian Linger and others are not the backbone of Longying Bookstore.
Moreover, even the backbone of Longying Bookstore, after traveling long distances to slay demons and eliminate demons, only relied on their remaining momentum to control the Western Region. They could not expand the results again, but could only consolidate them.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of belief.
The Qingyun Sect’s beliefs are too general.
Slaying demons and demons, that's no problem.
Patrolling everywhere, there was no problem.
There is no problem in hoeing the strong and supporting the weak.
But when these are put together, they become a general concept of the right path, without any particularly outstanding point.
The point of Longying Bookstore is to turn the world upside down.
The human race has become weak and has reached the point of being beyond control.
This is not a conflict between humans and monsters, and there is no right or wrong in any sense. It is simply a matter of self-rescue and officially renewing the human race's backbone.
Conquering the South is just a means.
The fundamental purpose is still to save the world.
To be precise, it is to shape the general trend.
But one Zhengnan is not enough.
If analyzed based on common sense, the Southern Conquest forces at that time should actually rest for a period of time. Even if they did not rest on the territory of the First Air Alliance, they should still rest on the territory of the Southern Kingdom for a period of time.
In this way, the energy will be restored again.
Moreover, it is becoming more and more indestructible.
After all, it was these backbones who fought all the way through the Southern Kingdom!
As for the Western Region, it was the blitzkrieg launched directly by Lu Yuan!
One is the sideways push tactic.
One is the decapitation tactic.
The two have completely different requirements for combat power.
Same reason.
The technical requirements are also completely different.
Therefore, when attacking the Western Regions at that time, the reason why this tired army could still display such high combat effectiveness, discipline and action was mainly because the current situation at that time let everyone know that they had no choice.
To retreat would be to fall short.
Behind them, stood tens of millions of fellow human beings.
So, they can only move forward.
Secondly, it is the momentum of consecutive victories along the way that gives these backbones the confidence to maintain their combat effectiveness at a certain level and not lose it in a short period of time.
But what does Qingyun Gate have?
It can be said that Qingyun Sect has nothing!
Therefore, on the one hand, it was a rainy night and it was difficult to move. On the other hand, there was no rush to rush to the meeting. Finally, Lu Xueqi did not have the appeal.
Three reasons come together.
Lu Xueqi and other Qingyun disciples naturally chose to live in Shanhaiyuan.
Worth to talk about.
Shanhaiyuan is a restaurant.
Inns can provide a place to stay, but the competitiveness of simple inns is too weak. There are always some businessmen with unique vision. Therefore, integrated inns such as "brothels" and "restaurants" where you can eat, drink or have fun are just a few. was invented and implemented.
Inside the brothel, you can eat, drink and have fun.
However, the focus lies on the last two words.
In the restaurant, you can also eat, drink and have fun.
However, the focus is on the first two words.
And when these two integrated inns came out, even if there were some ordinary inns, they were all crowded out by these unethical colleagues.
Therefore, there is a place to live in the restaurant.
Depending on the quality of the position and treatment, there will also be levels.
In this regard, Lu Yuan also expressed his helplessness.
Because that's how human nature is.
Comparison is part of human nature.
Showing off is also part of human nature.
It is precisely because of these that class exists.
These are inevitable things.
Lu Yuan could only say, just look away.
However, he is different from Lu Xueqi and others.
Currently, he is the leader of the Blood Refining Hall, and neither his first-level status nor his second-level status, including his inner status, can be revealed; therefore, he naturally needs to spend money to buy a high-class house.
Lu Xueqi and others rarely go down the mountain.
To be precise, many people have never gone down the mountain.
Gu Luyuan understood that Zeng Shushu, Qi Hao and Chang Jian should have gone down the mountain. Regardless of whether they escaped or not, in fact, they did go down the mountain.
The four newbies, Tian Linger, Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu and Lu Xueqi, have never been down the mountain. They don't even have a tael of silver in their pockets, and they don't even have many copper coins.
the reason is simple.
No need for that kind of thing.
On Qingyun Mountain, everything is public.
When a disciple was hungry, he went to the kitchen to find someone to cook.
On a sparsely populated mountain peak like Dazhu Peak, it is even possible to select dishes individually. There are only less than fifteen people in total, and even if they all eat separately, it is still enough to afford.
After all, there is no rule that one person can only use one pot.
Cooking as a cultivator is actually very simple.
Therefore, there are few places where silver is used on Qingyun Mountain.
A good piece of material, a good notebook, or a good spell plays a far greater role than money of the same value, and is easier to be accepted by more Qingyun disciples.
However, where are the identities of Lu Xueqi and others!
How smart is the shopkeeper of Shanhaiyuan?
How sharp is the waiter of Shanhaiyuan?
Knowing that Lu Xueqi and others were disciples of the Qingyun Sect, they calmly arranged a superior room for Lu Xueqi and others.
One person per person, totaling eight rooms.
Moreover, I haven’t asked for any money yet.
Realistically speaking, he really knows how to do business.
Both face and appearance are taken into consideration.
After all, the eight rooms "Qingyun disciples once lived in" will definitely attract many customers. Seeking immortality is the mainstream of this era.
After unknowingly settling in, Lu Xueqi, Tian Linger and others began to search for Baguio. Although they could not go out, they could still inquire about information and test Baguio in private.
After all, so far, Baguio is the only person they can come into contact with who knows about Lu Yuan's situation, and in terms of status, it is estimated that he is also the highest-level person they can come into contact with in the future.
Therefore, Baguio cannot be let go easily.
Can you ask? It depends on skill and luck.
But at the end of the day, always try!
If you don't try, you won't get any answers.
Therefore, after a period of hard work, Lu Xueqi finally found Baguio who took the trouble and talked to Baguio alone about some secret matters.
Following closely behind was Tian Linger.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't ask.
Still in autistic state.
Others had no intention of asking.
To be precise, there is no need to ask.
Even if they knew it, they couldn't do anything.
Ignorance may not be a bad thing sometimes.
However, Lu Yuan was very relieved about this.
On the one hand, only Lu Xueqi and Tian Linger had real conversations with Baguio, and they were all alone, which completely ensured the asymmetry of information.
Baguio can tell the truth.
In this way, it can be ensured that Lu Xueqi and Tian Linger will produce many wrong points when they confess later, and will be induced by these wrong points.
On the other hand, Lu Yuan still trusts Baguio's tone of voice.
Although Baguio is a little unreliable and sometimes likes to play petty, but in the face of major right and wrong, Baguio has not made any mistakes so far.
Even the showdown with him was a desperate move, but being able to get things right after breaking through his cover was really not easy!
However, facts once again proved that Lu Yuan's trust was right.
When Tian Linger came out, her mentality was obviously broken.
Lu Xueqi was in good condition when she came out.
However, there were still some emotional fluctuations.
For a person with a cold personality, when emotions are leaked to a certain extent, there is actually quite a lot of emotions accumulated internally.
Lu Yuan clearly saw the expressions on everyone's faces.
And, sitting on the eaves, admiring the moon all night long.
"I seem to understand you suddenly."
Beside him, Jin Ping'er said slightly drunkenly.
Lu Yuan smiled and did not answer.
Human beings are always strange creatures.
Those who seek survival will always be willing to die for some reason.
If you wish to die, you will survive by chance due to some coincidences.
Just like he is now.
Obviously knowing that not seeing her is actually the best choice.
But how can the human heart be as cold as stone?
